Dae's POV (Jin above)

After hours of pushing and screaming, I gave birth to another healthy baby. Jin was excited to cut the cord again and the doctor ran some tests. Counting her fingers and toes, Jin started to cry. 

"She reminds me of Ye-Jun when he was born." 

Exhausted, I started to fall asleep when the nurse came in to take the baby for her first bath. Serene and Becca went to watch on the monitor while I stayed in the recovery room with Jin. Lee walked in and Mike went to look for Becca. Serene was in the nursery watching the nurses washing the newborn babies.

"How are you feeling?" Lee asked

"Better now since she's finally here." I replied.

"Slim wanted to give you this."

Jin looked at the envelope that Lee gave him and looked back at me smiling.


Jin's POV 

Dae looked at me when Lee gave me the envelope. There were identification cards and money for Dae and the kids. The address to another house that was in Canada where they can hide just in case we had to go with plan B. Explaining to Dae that Lee gave me documents for work, she looked relieved. 

"Ne salang, get some rest."

Lee and I walked out to the waiting area since there was nobody there. After hearing that Meghan and Brian were facing life in prison, it made me feel much better but Slim didn't want us to assume that our situation was over. This was just the beginning and we had to stay alert. 

Walking back to Dae's room, the nurse wheeled our baby in. Dae was still asleep and I went to look at my baby girl. Resting in a bright pink blanket, she looked just like her mother. The corners of my mouth turned upwards into a smile when I leaned closer to see her.

When I picked her up, her eyes were still closed. Holding her in my arms, I sat in the rocking chair that was by Dae's bed near the window. She was so small and smells just like a baby. Wiping my eyes, she opens her mouth wide and yawns. The bed squeaks and Dae sits up rubbing her eyes with the IV needle in her arm.

"Ne salang. How are you feeling?" I asked 

"I'm tired. Where is her wrist band." She asked pointing at me

"They will be up here soon with it."

As expected, my phone rung nonstop and Mama video called Dae's cell. Holding the phone to my ear, my mom starts to cry and tells me to make miyuk-guk for Dae. It will help her recover and it has many health benefits. Seaweed soup was like medicine and when I tried to feed it to Dae, I knew that she didn't like it.
